It's a bright and cheery wonderland of artistic treasures. Owner Leanna Lin is so incredibly adorable and sweet. She was a fashion designer for 10 years before turning her love for fashion & jewelry into a career. She started her own jewelry line in 2005 and then opened this lovely boutique in 2010. When I lived in the area, I would come here on a regular basis. I had some friends that were visiting from out of town and wanted to get them a unique & fun gift. Leanna Lin's was the perfect place! When I arrived, I was greeted by Leanna Lin's mom, who is an absolute doll just like her daughter. We had a wonderful conversation, while I browsed the store looking for the perfect gifts. Once I found them, she was kind enough to gift wrap them for me, which I appreciated. I love that Leanna assists local artists by showcasing their work in her store in addition to hosting art shows and events that give back to the community. I'm definitely happy to support this small, local business. Follow her on Instagram @Leannalinswonderland for updates on Art Shows and special events or leannalinswonderland.com/blogs/events. Next Event: Wonderpets 5 Art Show + Fundraiser August 19th - September 30th.

Leanna Lin's Wonderland is a mini art gallery and gift shop in Eagle Rock that mostly focuses on…read morejewelry, stationery (e.g. Studio Ghibli-themed journals), needle kits, accessories, plushies, home decor, and children's books (including Decoy Saves Opening Day). The shop has a small curated selection of Sanrio and Miffy plushies, but in general about half of the store is geared toward children and kids. [Parking]: Easy metered street parking is available with free metered parking on Sundays. [Conclusion]: As a children's shop, this is a 5-star store. At the same time, the store may not be everyone's cup of tea depending on what they are looking for.

Unfortunately, my experience with JD was disappointing from when I requested my rings to be serviced. When I arrived, he initially told me the process would take about 10 minutes and that he would clean, inspect, and check the prongs unless I wanted the rings sent to the lab for a more thorough service but would take 3 days I agreed to have them sent to the lab which is what I typically do. At that point, the interaction noticeably changed. JD insisted also that my engagement ring/band were platinum, despite me explaining that my rings are white gold and only my husband's band is platinum. Even after I pointed out that the receipt itself listed the metal type as "WG 18K," he continued to insist it was platinum on the system.   The bigger concern came when I reviewed the intake receipt. Total rings sent for service were listed with a value of only $3K, despite being worth approximately $25K, and the description of the center diamond was incomplete. JD initially told me the information was there, but when I pointed out the discrepancies, he crossed out the $3K value by hand, replaced it with $25K, and initialed it instead of getting a new receipt, he even if he showed me the print screen that it was changes to $25K.  This did not inspire confidence when leaving a valuable pieces of jewelries in their care. He also sent a copy of a receipt via email.  I also noticed that the photo taken of the diamond's GIA number was blurry and unreadable. When I explained that previous receipts had included much more detailed documentation, including the GIA number written out, Sophie stepped in to assist who has been witnessing the entire interaction. She reviewed my concerns, agreed that the GIA photo was not clear, verified my information, and took the time to compare the documentation with prior records. Because I was uncomfortable with how the intake process had been handled, I requested that the pieces be processed separately, as they had been in previous visits. Sophie accommodated my request and ensured the documentation was completed properly. I want to recognize Sophie for her professionalism, patience, and willingness to address my concerns. She turned an increasingly frustrating situation into one that felt much more secure and transparent. When customers are leaving valuable jewelry for service, accuracy, attention to detail, and professionalism matter. Unfortunately, JD's attitude, dismissiveness, and lack of customer service made what should have been a routine visit feel tense and uncomfortable.  If there's one thing more precious than a diamond, it's confidence in the paperwork that goes with it--and that was in noticeably short supply with JD. Thanks to Sophie for stepping up!

There's a NBC meet and greet area in the atrium but the backdrop is always up and darling on its own for a photo opportunity.

They have a wide array of items for both The Nightmare Before Christmas and even The Haunted Mansion! Personally, this is a shop I love to visit every trip even though it's hard to maneuver through due to a cluster of fellow shoppers (hence the 4 stars). The cast members are incredibly friendly, happy to help you make a selection if you have questions (some quirky items can need explanation), and ensure you get an item worth your money. One of my favorite purchases the last decade was from this shop - weighted Haunted Mansion blanket.

Shopping here saves me time during my park visits. They also offer mobile checkout, which is very convenient when the cashiers are busy. I recently noticed that some items are more expensive here than on the Disney Store website. One item I purchased was $10 more in-store than online. However, the online store charges shipping unless you spend at least $85. I recommend checking online prices before making a purchase here.

They offer shirts, toys, sweaters, jackets, hats, keychains, magnets, stickers and sooooo much more. Surprisingly, most items are very affordable which makes not picking up those impulse items while you wait in line to pay, irresistible. Items such as a white Mickey's and friends license plate holder or Mickey ears with a badge (yes! I DID purchase while I was in line :) The store is FULLY and I mean FULLY stocked, the entire vibe of the store is fun and exciting. Every single employee is SUPER friendly, helpful and cheerful. No way can you leave here in a bad mood. These employees will FORCE you to be happy. Shopping here was fun. Gifting the items I purchased will be even better when I see the smiles on the faces of the receivers of those gifts.

I am a longtime Le Labo customer and often visit different locations in different cities to experience the brand and its signature scents, so I came in ready and happy to buy. Although we were greeted when we walked in, no one followed up to offer assistance or check in. The overall atmosphere felt noticeably cold and unwelcoming. None of the associates were smiling, and one employee in particular appeared visibly irritated, which made the space uncomfortable. At one point, I even paused and mentioned to my sister how off-putting the energy felt. Instead of feeling welcomed or encouraged to explore, I felt like a nuisance for being in the store. This was disappointing, especially given how much I enjoy the brand and how excited I was to make a purchase. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works toward creating a warmer, more attentive in-store experience that aligns with the Le Labo brand and customer expectations.

Both varieties on the shelf were marked $8.99. I brought one to the counter with a $20 bill in hand, and it rang up to just over $21. When I questioned it, the employee told me the tax was almost 50% of the cost. That explanation didn't make much sense, so I walked him over and showed him the $8.99 price tags. His response was a shrug and, "I'll let them know." That was it. No attempt to honor the posted price, no effort to resolve the issue, and no concern that the shelf pricing appeared to be wrong. So I left. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was how little interest there seemed to be in fixing the problem. I won't be back. If you shop here, pay close attention to the prices you're charged.
